Why "open source GPS tracking" thankless

GPS tracking, on the X treasure on a large search, the price of dozens of to hundreds of levels are not homogeneous, why do they have to develop their own?

1 for me, is the hardware resources at hand (GPRS GPS MCU) and software resources (VPS), calculate the pain of the egg, not actually, I work is very busy.

2 for some users, buy a module is not Bob, why is it good to engage in such a pile of things? Well, not really.

I have observed a lot of X-treasure GPS tracking, basically through the platform they provide to achieve positioning, one is, their platform can provide how long, three years five years, or 1.5 years, it is estimated that most people have not considered, or feel that a day to make a day. Two, positioning this thing, after all, you on that site is a user, their various itineraries all exposed, this is personal privacy bar.

Anyway, I think it is not reliable, buy a module is OK, but the back can be used for how long, my information whether leakage can only be resigned.

In fact, I also want to buy one, put on my little donkey, to prevent loss, considering the price and the above reasons to give up.

3 accidentally, see Open source project when found Opengts, Slam heart, but look at the installation process flinched, various things missus trouble. The amount ... In fact, follow the tutorial installed in the same way, completely without the imagination of the trouble. Now the virtual machine is installed again and then it is installed directly on the VPS, and the installation is OK together. Bang, the weekend to find a long time to eat the GPRS GPS module, after a day of tinkering, the data passed to the remote server.

4 Benefits of open source GPS tracking

First is able to tinker, like DIY, you can tinker with these, ready to put on their bikes, electric small donkey on, private cars, big trucks, and even dogs can help their own dogs. It's all for fun.

There are some real needs of the Lord, you can make dozens of sets, such as logistics to their own car, opengts a few hundred is fully capable, cost reduction is very much, very much!

I belong to the first class, to help the electric small donkey type!

5 4 Nuclear x-Treasure

I only use the cheapest 8051 single-chip computer to achieve GPS tracking, X-PO propaganda of various 4 cores .... I feel like X-treasure is a good thing! is not mobile phone spell what core Ah, shoot a mosquito all use kill sledgehammer?! Consumer cries faint in the toilet!

6 also want to say the traffic card, now a lot of mobile Unicom's IoT card, 10 yuan a year, 10M per month of traffic. Forget it, GPS positioning is enough.

10mb= * 1024x768 *1024 byte =10485760 byte

10485760 BYTE/30 Day/24 h/60 min = 242 byte

That means 1 minutes to send 242byte.

In my open-source GPS positioning, send a location data up to 80byte, is a one-minute positioning 3 times, 10M traffic is enough, in fact, we use the time to send the positioning interval should be greater than 1 minutes! Ask me Why? In order to save energy, low power ah, ha ha ~ ~
